Louisiana Grills LG900 Pellet Smoker

[disco]

I usually use the tray for cold smoking but when it is really cold, I have used the tube as it generates more heat and keeps stuff from freezing while I'm cold smoking.

Actually, if you want to get me going on hockey, you would have said go Hitmen as our local team is the Ice. I went to an Ice game in Calgary in December. You will be glad to know they lost badly to the Hitmen.

I know this post is about 7 months old, but just curious which one you decided on. I'm in the process of deciding myself.

I'm assuming you are asking between the tube and pellet smoker. I have one of each and use them in different circumstances.

If you mean the pellet smoker, I bough the Louisiana Grills LG900

Well apparently I don't know how to reply directly to a post because I was actually asking that of Chef JimmyJ as he was in the middle of his decision making process regarding which pellet smoke/grill to buy. But thanks for the reply anyway. I got some very good info on the LG900 from your post, that product is one of my finalists.

Har! No problem! Good luck on your research.

how many pounds of pellets does the LG 900 use per hour at various temperatures?

Thanks

Sorry, I haven't actually done a measured burn. However, one hopper did five hours of smoking for a ham.

Smoking your Ham in the Hopper??
You didn't get that one from me! ;)

This is to all in this post. Things change. If you were doing it all again would you change anything? Updated technology and designs or manufacturer changes (some good some bad) all can effect our decisions.

I'm looking at a used FEC100 and an Amerique. At the other end of the spectrum a MES XL. What others would you suggest now?

All thought are appreciated.

Hi Disco/all, just joined the forum and am very excited to get cracking.
I am about to purchase an LG900.
I have a lot of questions but the first would be about initial burn off or seasoning.
What's your thoughts on this as it's the first step before any cooking can take place??
Cheers Pete

As the manufacturer recommends it, I would go with the burn off. You just don't know what's on the grills from the factory.

Sweetas mate..

Enjoy! What's your first cook going to be?

 

[Kiwi Smoke]

Probably a couple of chickens on Friday night. If the rain ever stops..

 

[disco]

Low and slow or higher temp, the LG does both!

 

[Kiwi Smoke]

Really looking to get some experience with low and slow just because I haven't done this style before.
Not sure if the plan will work though lots of rain for the next few days.

Got a break in the weather on Sunday and did my first chicken cook.

Anybody know of an effective way to add wifi ability to this grill? Wifi thermometers anre nice, but I haven't found anything that is able to control the PID. Thanks!
